Oh.  I see what you mean.  I'm afraid I was a bit, um, "hasty" in my 
reply, as Treebeard would say.  I see that both the taxonomic names have 
"magnolia" in the name.  Confusing.  I am afraid that I need to 
apologize to Peter, because my reply seemed a bit snippy.  Sorry.  I 
will try to do better in the future, but being the hypomanic dilettante 
that I am, it will probably happen again.
